Buyer
guiding service:
We have been leading both commercial buyers and collectors
through Budapest and the countryside for over 9 years now. We know
nearly every loacl dealer in the country, and can quickly arrange
an itinerary that suits the buyers needs. Since we make the rounds
frequently, we are also in a good position know what sort of pieces
are currently available. The most common buyer profiles we service
are: Country/Pine/Rustic, Art Deco and Modernism, Biedermeier and
Classical Style, and Baroque. Each of these styles have their own
sources and are skill in guiding has much to do with our ability
to quickly grasp and understand a buyers 'look.'
The rate
for guiding is €25/hour or 10% of purchases, whichever amount
is higher. For large-scale long-term commercial buyers a discounted
commission rate can be negotiated. We provide the use of our car,
but ask the buyer to cover expenses which can include gas, tolls,
parking, as well as hotel and meals if purchasing in the countryside
or in the surrounding countries like Romania, Slovakia, and the
Ukraine (as is often the case for rustic buyers). The service includes
taking the buyer to the sources, translation and negotiating with
the seller, keeping accounts and digital images of all purchases,
handling payment transactions, and arranging for transportation.
